Is it possible to change the colors of the Max window (background stripes, text, etc)?

I notice the Preferences allow me to customize basically any color in the GUI (including the File browser background stripes...) but not the Max window. Any particular reason why it is not included?

I imagine this is hardcoded as the max window is basically there for info/debug purposes. You can always roll your own using [send] and [receive] with a [jit.cellblock] for display if customisation is a must-have for you.

Then I would like to request a feature allowing customization of the Max window colors from the Preferences menu.

The console output is a fundamental part of any programming environment. It is often visible in a live situation, much more so than the File Browser. Any cheap terminal app allow the user to change background or text color so I see no reason why Max should not.
